Nordic & Scandinavian Design

Zeev Aram was one of the first retailers to encourage the British to embrace European Modernism – and Aram, which he founded in 1964, is still one of the best places in the UK to find both traditional and contemporary design. Among the many treasures at our Covent Garden store – which stocks a mix of furniture, lighting, rugs and accessories over four floors – is an impressive selection of Nordic and Scandinavian design.

In 2019, Aram put the spotlight on these brands with the launch of a Nordic Design Month, an event that brought together some of the region's foremost furniture and lighting labels, from heritage names such as Carl Hansen & Søn to younger firms, including Eikund and Sibast Furniture. Many of the pieces are instantly recognisable icons of timeless modern design, and continue to be as popular as ever.
